Sunset on the Congo River. There is a lovely walk we usually take along the river next to all the Ambassadorial residences. (US, British, Belgian, Swedish & Chinese etc) You get to meet up with all the usual expats, new and old. The evenings are the busiest, but usually the time when the humidity is at it's highest.
Fin, the Dalmalli panting in the heat. He gets to spend most of his days indoors with the AC on full blast. Lucky dog, I suppose the locals must think he is " King of all Dogs" in Kinshasa. His new name should be "Fin Fin of the Congo" not Tin Tin.
Torden in the pool. Most days this is the best place to be. We have lots of play days, where there are about 8 kids that get together on a regular basis. This is great for our social network, as there are not many places for children to play.
An outlook of our long verandah ( stoep), which is where most of our social gatherings are held. Very colonial, sipping our G&T's. Although Paul is forbidden to touch any alcohol for the next year, due to his liver being severely abused, from the Malaria ( cerebral), no not alcohol poisoning!

Hi Ing
Love the house pics! The "verandah" looks very inviting, maybe I will get to sit on it one day with some sundowner drinks!
